Thanks for all the references! I've got another question, which has come up re: the same 16thc English Bridgettine text, though this one is a bit of a shot in the dark - does anyone know if there is a nightingale associated in any way with the legend of St. Ursula and her 11 000 virgins? Or, if there's is a translation of the story out there (my library catalogue shows up nothing, nor did a netsearch) Gratefully, Lara Hinchberger PhD candidate Centre for Med.
